2) How much time does the wood on the match burn? The wood on the match can burn from 45 seconds to one minute.
3) Research the design of chamber #2. We decided to use a glass bottle. On the hole on the top, we will position an aluminium lid and stick the match with silicon. Then, we will insert the lid with the match upside down. Finally, we will turn on the match (which will be painted black) by using a maginifying glass (plan A). If plan A fails, plan B will consist of causing friction on the match and then using the magnifying lens to produce the flame.

Questions:
1) What temperature does a match have?
The phosphorus in the match burns at a much higher temperature than wood does. The temperature is roughly 1600C or 1873K, although after the phosphorus has been combusted the temperature will drop as the wood will be the fuel.
